Four Seasons Lanai: Two exceptional Four Seasons Experiences on One Private Hawaiian Island.

Feb 22, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Lifestyle, Love and Travel

So y'all know we're going on our Honey-soon in May and much like all of you, we love to go all out on vacations. Of course though there is nothing worse than splurging and finding out that yor luxurious hotel isn't as special as you thought it would be. We love exploring new places we've never been and that are adventurous and relaxing at the same time. So before we hit up the Fairmont  Kea Lani in Maui, we're heading to the Four Seasons on Lanai.

Until recently the island was kept a secret by natives, that is until the Four Seasons decided to open up two of what appear to be the most luxurious resorts. We love luxury but our favorite part about the duo of resorts are that they have character. They don't just look like your cookie cutter chain five star hotel. Leave it to the Four Seasons to get it right. In 2005 they invested $100 million to give vacationers a luxe, relaxing, authentic Hawaiian experience.

The Four Seasons Koele is more rustic (as rustic as the Four seasons gets–you know, orchid nurseries and chinese pagodas) and charming in a lodge-like way whereas the Four Seasons Manele Bay is your quintessential beach resort. We can hardly wait until May!

Stay tuned to find out what awaits on Hawaii's smallest private island! We have a feeling it's worth the wait!

Gelli Baff: The Coolest Way to Get Your Kids to Take a Bath!

Feb 15, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Giggles, Lifestyle, Love and Travel

gelli baff united states

I had the pleasure to go to Toy Fair this week. One of my fave products I saw and thought that kids everywhere big and small will love is Gelli Baff. If you can’t speak Kiddo-talk like me, it translates to a gel-lly-bath. The product turns bath water into goo and then turns it back into water so that it can drain easily without clogging your drain.

It’s so cool, you just dissolve the powder mixture into bath water and watch as the water turns into a thick goo for bathtime fun! Then you add the second packet to dissolve it back into water which will rinse right down the drain.

Gelli Baff is totally safe. I put my hand in it and was encouraged that i could even put my engagement ring in it and it’d come out better than ever and right they were. It came out shining like it was brand new. And don’t worry about the dissolving powder, it’s pure table salt. Plus it won’t stain your towels or carpets.

Gelli Baff is available in Blue, Red, Green and Orange. It probably will retail between $8-$14. I think they’re just starting to sell it in the US. We’re obsessed!!!

Rub-a-dub-dub!

What’s the Best Honeymoon Hotel? Paradise Awaits at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui Hawaii

Feb 11, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Cheap Thrills, Lifestyle, Love and Travel

Aruba, Jamaica, oooh I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahamas, come on pretty mama!

I’ve done one better! We just booked our reservations at the Fairmont Wailea in Maui!

I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about the resort, and I figure, hey, what better time than now to test out honeymoon spots for myself and our loyal readers. You have to spoil yourself at some point, right!? (I wasn’t called Veruca Salt growing up for nothing)

So sit tight, we’ll be doing a detailed review about everything from the luxurious grounds, to the delectable food, the breathtaking views, the rejuvenating spa and more.

I’m not sure about you but I love hearing other people’s reviews about hotels. It really helps you see beyond the professional pictures they have up. The problem is, on Trip Advisor you never know who you’re dealing with, right? Is it some snotty customer who expects everything delivered to her on a silver platter? Or is it someone who has never been to a nice hotel before and is wowed merely by a clean bed.

That’s where we come in, dolls! You know us, we’re reasonable but if we’re paying for a five-star resort (especially in a destination like Hawaii) we want it to be worth every buck! So stay tuned for deets in May as we’re Wowee’d in Maui! And as always we’ll give you tips on what you can splurge on for your dream vacay and what to purge from your itineraries!

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for any Budget

Feb 4, 2010 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Cheap Thrills, Holiday, Lifestyle, Love and Travel

A great Gift idea for Office co-workers is just candy but to spice it up a bit and make it seem like you put thought into it you can order labels from Erin Condren and wrap the candy in a sweet little plastic bag topped off with your own personalized label. Just smack it right on top of the candy/baggie. PS, if you spend $100 use the code LIFEPLANNER for a free awesome lifeplanner!

Funny gifts to get your friend or for your Sweetie

Hot Lips $15.00

The Always Popular Couples Massage is another Idea. This is obviously not the cheapest. Look for coupon codes to spas, which are common these days. Or make an at-home spa for your sweetie. Get a pitcher and fill it with lemon and cucumber water. Put out a selection of teas. Put out your robes. Burn some nice candles and give your sweetie a massage! This is super thoughtful but also super-cheap!!

You can even incorporate your gift for your sweetie by buying them a nice plus White robe–make it extra special by monogramming their initials or name!

Romantic Dinner for Two

You can offer to be the sexy-chef for the evening and put on a nice outfit or something a little even scantier! Is that a word? Make your babe his/her favorite meal. Though this works better as done by a she as girls don’t generally get too pumped about seeing their honeys stripped down to their skivvies.  Make homemade chocolate covered strawberries and his heart will melt!

Pick up some cute undies at American Apparel for 30% off through Feb 21, 2010.
